"I wear a 29 in the denim version. A 28 in this version would have fit like the model but there were no 28s left so took a chance on the 27. Didn't have much faith they would fit but as it turned out I really like the fit. The waist is perfect but thighs are snug. After wearing a half-hour and stretching a little, they are quite comfortable. Normally a size 6 in pants. So if you're considering the size 24 or 25 that are left but afraid they'll be to snug, maybe reconsider."

"I really like the material of these pants, very soft and comfortable. I gave only 4 stars because the color on some of the model pics is misleading. These pants were almost brown with a hint of burgundy. They perhaps fit a bit big in the waist, I could have gone down a size."

love them!

"I am a true fan of wide flare pants and I have been looking for something extravagant everywhere but noone seemed to have what I want. I finally found a denim version of Extreme Flares in a FP store and, oh boy, was I happy... Denim EVF does run a a bit small comparing to a Corduroy version: I am 5'6", 125 lbs and in Denim I am a size 28 while in Corduroy I am 27. Denim pants are also about an inch longer: I had to tailor them to be able to wear them with my highest platforms while Corduroy version has the perfect length and no scissors are required. Both versions of pants are very light in texture which makes them perfect for winter and summer. Five stars. I LOVE THEM!"

Super Comfy Pants

1.29.2012-

"OK first of all these are soooo comfortable! Seriously the material is just beautiful, light, cotton. But the main reason I'm going to give these only 4 and a half stars is I fell in love with the colour. Plum wine. Maybe my browser displays it more red but in person it's a LOT darker and more of a brown tone. Certainly not a deal breaker but is one thing I would change.Secondly the length is pretty long, but every pair of long pants I by I have to hem them so no worries I guess you'd have more problems if they're not long enough!Ah but all in all these are fantastic and if you get them on sale even better!!! 4 and a half out of five."

Flares Great, Packaging BAD

1.26.2012-

"When these arrived today they were rolled up into a little ball in the package. They were so badly wrinkled that they appeared to be too short. After A LOT of ironing, they look great. So funky and different and very comfortable. They run mighty big though. I'm usually a 29 or 30. Based on the reviews I got a 28 and it's perfect. I'm very disappointed in the packaging of the clothing I ordered this time around. I also purchased the Viscose Voile Slip which came severely wrinkled as well."

Response from Free People:By Free People, web, 1.26.2012

The bundling of these pants during shipping is by design. They are shipped this way intentionally to help in giving them a softer/worn in feel when they reach you. We’re sorry for any confusion this may have caused when unwrapping your pants. Rest assured, normal washing will remove any wrinkles that may have formed during the shipping. Hope this helps!

"These are great. I love the super fine whale corduroy, which is usually a very light material. I would recommend these pants for a road trip or on a plane because they are so comfortable. A tiny bit loose but I would not size down. I wear a 29."

Cute style poor material

12.24.2011-

"It's a really cute piece. However, the fabric is really thin as the fuzzy material rubs off after only one wear to work (I have a quite sedentary job). I found several spots thining out the on the back and it looks like the pant will end up with many holes after more wear... I'm sad about it as I really liked the style and want it to last. Perhaps it's meant for only one season, but for the price, I expected higher quality."

"So, I'm tall and I don't have any issue with the pants laying weird or anything. To me, these fit just like the extreme flare jeans, maybe just the teeniest bit bigger, but nothing to warrant going down a size. I think the color of these is absolutely spectacular and eye-catching, and a gorgeous shade of burgundy that will go with just about anything! They're comfortable and since they're not low-rise I don't have to worry about a muffin top! Simply gorgeous!"

A Possible Solution

11.15.2011-

"I'm a big fan of the EVF series and quite fond of these pants, which run about a size bigger than the jeans (thank God). The color is more of a black cherry than a plum (check out the tops below for color matches). I agree with other reviews as to the issues with the seaming and the drape. For those of you handy with a needle and thread, I've had good luck with sewing a few HEAVY buttons on the 2 outside seams of the legs, about 6-8in from the bottom. The weight pulls the seams a little straighter and gives the fabric more drape. No ironing required. Looks cool, too!"

"I worried that these size 30 pants would not fit since I take a 31 in the fp super flared jeans that go by the same shape. but I could not resist that color et voila! to my delight the 30 here fit almost exactly like the 31 of those billowy jeans. light; lively; pretty wine red; great for girls of mild breadth, like me!"

"the fit is just like the extreme flare jeans: fits true to size at the waist. the material is also similar: thin and light, except that this is a cord. it arrives all wrinkled but straightened out pretty quick because of the light fabric. it's also super long but you can tailor it as it has a raw hem. i don't have any issues with the side bunching up as another reviewer mentioned. i just love the style of these pants. they totally rock, are awesome and comfy on, and have a very flattering silohuette."

can't believe these aren't a customer favorite!

9.27.2011-

"these are in my humble opinion the best of the extreme flares fp has offered. super soft.. super thin (which I love..) .. I hate pants that make me hot. super comfy with an incredible 70's vibe. ran a bit large.. I went down a size.. still super comfy. I got a thousand compliments when I wore them .. more than with the extreme flare jeans.. they are amazing. I don't care if they come in a ball or whatever.. they look great and that's the bottom line!! line up and get these ladies before they are gone forever! MORE COLORS PLEASE!! HOW ABOUT COBALT BLUE!!"

"I was surprised at how SUPER thin the fabric is... very cheap feeling/looking for the price. I don't see how these are worth 150 bucks. I also purchased the "Super 70s Cord" that were 108 dollars and MUCH better quality than these. I kept those, returned these."

"These pants are perfect for fall in a warmer climate like mine (very lightweight). Love the dark plum color, I will definitely be wearing these a lot. The size of the bottom is very large though, I actually like that about them but they do look larger in person than on the website."
